I mean what could go wrong, Apple. Beacon of privacy lol. Always bundling their shit hiding behind a good cause. 

Better stop taking pictures of your children now, that might easily be considered child pornography by the algorithms.

I agree that, once introduced, it can be "easily" manipulated to search other things. And this is a very tempting prospect, and not just for governments.

I'm not sure updating the terms of service will be legally enough to make this legal because you own your phone, it's your property. And if that update is mandatory and not optional, you're not really giving your users the option to agree or not. For me, it's a grey area that lawyers and polititians will have to deal with sooner rather than later.

If Apple will have people reviewing the pics, they better start hiring lots of people. The police divisions that have the bad luck of dealing with this kind of crimes are the ones with more personal changes because everyone has a limit and, working there, that limit is reached very fast.

"By signing this you agree to be searched at any time for illegal content and be criminally denounced by us. We also swear we won't be doing anything with what isn't illegal :)" sounds something extremely sketchy to write down in a contract of adhesion. Even in the US, I don't think this is an alienable right... right?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who follows Louis Rossmann. That guy has hardly been wrong in pretty much ANYTHING he's spoken of and more so with Apple. 

Also, has anybody posted Linus' review of the Steam Deck? I just watched it and it seems really attractive despite, you know, Valve.

Well, I was thinking in something more professional, like "At Apple we condemn and reject any type of abuse against minors and, subsequently, we're against using our products for such activities. To make sure that your Apple product hasn't been used in any of such activities, we've updated our policies to warrant the right to search your device for such material". But yeah, it's all very fishy.

And it's also a very surprising movement given how, 4 or 5 years ago in one of the regular shootings in the US, the FBI asked Apple to unlock the phone of the suspect to search for potentially more people involved in it, and Apple refused to help them. So, mass murder is ok, but child abuse isn't. Well, at least they have a limit.

Yep, Yuri posted the hands-on video and a follow up. He does seem very excited about it.

I got a 1tb nvme for my pc. Wasn't really looking for one but at £56 I couldn't pass it up. It's crucial p2 so pretty bad for an nvme drive but still a great price and I think I'll be satisfied with it. TBH I'm satisfied with Sata ssds still but directstorage should make nvmes matter more.

Grats that's a great deal there!


Tbh you should be fine with that if you're going to use that for your OS/and or games. Plus Microsoft did state that Gen 3 drives are compatible with Direct Storage, so I don't think think you'll encounter any issues. The drive used in the Series consoles are only 2.4GB/s anyways so that drive should be comparable, performance wise.

That's a great deal for a 1TB NVMe drive. Congratulations!

That sounds like a great deal. Which one did you get?

A 1tb crucial p2. It's slow for an nvme but still a step up from my Sata ssds. My motherboard has a pci4 m2 and a pci3 m2 so I can get a 2nd faster nvme in a couple years down the line if I feel it would be a benefit.
